✨ Technical Specifications
An elegant tribute to Camille Olry-Roederer, the formidable matriarch who steered the house through the mid-20th century, the Hommage Camille Rouge is a rare still red wine from the Coteaux Champenois appellation. Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir, this cuvée is typically sourced from the historic, south-facing Charmont parcel in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, a terroir famed for its chalk-infused clay soils. Louis Roederer employs traditional vinification with a portion of whole-cluster fermentation and aging in oak casks to preserve the vibrant red fruit character and delicate floral aromas. The result is a wine of striking purity, silky tannins, and a persistent mineral finish that beautifully bridges the gap between Champagne's unique terroir and the elegance of fine Burgundy.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1776 as Dubois Père & Fils and renamed in 1833 by visionary entrepreneur Louis Roederer, Champagne Louis Roederer remains one of the rare independent, family-run prestige Champagne houses, stewarded today by the Rouzaud family. Based in Reims, the house commands over 240 hectares of premier and grand cru vineyards spread across the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, and Vallée de la Marne, distinguished by a profound commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture. Renowned for its masterly balance of power and finesse, Louis Roederer is globally celebrated for creating the world's first prestige cuvée, Cristal, commissioned in 1876 for Tsar Alexander II of Russia, alongside exceptional vintage Champagnes and its hallmark multi-vintage Collection cuvées.
